Turrican 2 on Amiga

(have to acknolodge however that the PC port is excellent, must mostly unknown)


What I would have listet some time ago as favorite just got a PC port.

Tekken 5

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Gauntlet, ZX Spectrum.

Splatoon, simply one of the best, if not he best, MP squad-based games ever.

Video Game:

F̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶F̶a̶n̶t̶a̶s̶y̶ ̶V̶I̶ Never mind, it has several PC releases. Same with Phantasy Star IV.

Demon's Souls

Non-Electronic: Boggle, Scrabble

Yup. Lol

For me it's Star Fox 64, but Faxanadu, Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, and Xenogears also come very close.

And Crisis Zone is my favorite arcade game, if I ever had a place to put the full size cabinet, I would drop the coin for it. :)

What counts as a non-PC game?

Do games that were later ported or remade for PC count?

Do games that were only released on non-DOS computer platforms back before the IBM PC's dominance count? (I'm thinking games like Centauri Allaiance and The Eternal Dagger here.)

Do games that are available for Mac and/or Linux, but not for Windows, count?

Do web-based games, which can usually be played on a PC with a modern web browser just by navigating to a site, count? (The web is really its own platform, from a software development perspective, with its own features and limitations (many of which are due to security or things that annoy users).)

Deadly Premonition

(because the PC port is crappy, but somewhat decent after a few community fixes/tweaks)

I'd still like the second one on GOG, even though it isn't as good - and also not a very good port.

I always have trouble picking ONE game as favorite, so here's a top 10 instead, in chronological order:

Donkey Kong Country trilogy (SNES, 1994-96)
Chrono Trigger (SNES, 1995)
Tekken 3 (PS, 1998)
CTR: Crash Team Racing (PS, 1999)
Vagrant Story (PS, 2000)
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (PS2, 2001)
The Last of Us (PS3, 2013)
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Wii, 2015)

Parasol Stars (PC Engine/Amiga)
Atic Atac/Wizards Lair (ZX Spectrum)
Super Metroid (Snes)
Super Mario Bro 3 (Nes)
Sonic 2 (MegaDrive)
Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap (Master System)
Final Fantasy VII (PSX)

Non electronic game: Backgammon

Have you played the remake (which is available on PC, and is even available on gog.com)?

Tobal No. 1 for the original Playstation console. I would have said Tobal 2, which is an improvement in most respects, but I'm not sure if that counts since I played it via emulator with a fan-translated patch, since it was a Japanese-only release. I played Persona 5 on the PS4, but also has PC release.

No, I haven't. Although I was ecstatic when I saw it released here on GoG. But have been repeatedly putting off purchasing it for a number of reasons. One, I was initially put off by the release price, although it does now go on sale occasionally. And two, I am a little worried that it may ruin the nostalgia I have for the original that I played (and completed) on the original system decades ago...
